This is better than what I said.
Only caveat I'd add is; please don't use a group just to do a first aid course, then bugger off. It costs time and money to run these courses, even if run by other volunteers.

Used to hack us off enomously when someone would feign interest, join up, be issued expensive uniform and given a limited place on a first aid course; only for them to quit as soon as they get the piece of paper that represented their Free FAW. We're usually left with an ill-kept set of 2nd hand uniform (if they even bothered to return it), and although strictly speaking the course place wasn't wasted, it could have been *better* used for someone who'd actually go out there and help people on a regular basis (instead of only using it to get a job / pay raise / spruce up their UCAS).

Not suggesting for a moment that anyone here actually would, but conning charities is wrong, people.
